Duane Casey, the Pistons coach, didn’t think much of Bruce Brown as a point guard despite his defensive skills. A little more than a year ago, Casey told beat reporters how he felt. He sounded dour.
#Pistons Dwane Casey on Bruce Brown: "Bruce, going forward, is probably not gonna be a point guard. That's for free agency, draft and all that, but again the experience he's getting there is going to help him to tread water and have to be a secondary ball-handler."

“All that” turned out to be a trade, the three-team Draft Night deal that sent out the Nets first rounder, two seconds, Dzanan Musa and the rights to Jaylen Hands in return for Brown.
